Junior Rugby League Laws: 6-12 Years Junior Rugby League Laws: 6–12 Years JUNIOR RUGBY LEAGUE LAWS: 6-12 YEARS JUNIOR RUGBY LEAGUE LAWS: 6–12 YEARS First Edition 2017 The “Pathways Review”, initiated in 2010, included representation from a broad cross-section of the Rugby League Community in developing a blueprint for future game modelling. The NRL Education, Training and Research Team promoted trials and engaged researchers from Sydney University to assess trial data to provide a basis for any possible modelling into the future. ORIGINAL LAW BOOKS FOR THE “MODIFIED GAMES” First Published 1981 – as ‘Mini Footy – A Game of Rugby League for Youngsters’ designed and developed by Peter D. Corcoran OAM. Subsequently reprinted in this form in 1982, 1983 and 1984 and then, in annual editions, in various forms, from 1985 – 2016. 2016 Publication Thirty Eighth Edition: “Laws of Modified Games” by Peter D. Corcoran OAM ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The NRL wishes to acknowledge Peter Corcoran OAM in the design, development and monitoring over 35 years, of the Modified Games of Mini Footy and Mod League which has underpinned the code’s development in that time. Changes were trialled in various age groups in 2015 and again for the 2017 Season following extensive research and stakeholder engagement. 2015, 2016 and the current (2017) Law books have been based on both the International Laws of Rugby League and ‘Rugby League: Laws of Mini Footy & Mod League’ by Peter D. Corcoran OAM NRL Education, Training & Research Team (November 2016). DEVELOPMENT OF THE MODIFIED GAMES OF RUGBY LEAGUE In the late 1970’s, the then ARL National Director of Coaching, Peter Corcoran OAM designed and developed what was to become the ARL’s Modified Games Program, incorporating MINI FOOTY and MOD LEAGUE with its simpler laws, smaller footballs and goalposts, for players aged between 7 and 12 years. “Mini Footy” was first played in 1981 in the Under 7 age group, gradually moving to the older 8’s and 9’s age groups in 1983 and 1984, with some modifications — principally due to alterations in the International Game, as the young players became more experienced and knowledgeable in the new form of the code. “Mod League” was developed to cater for the specific needs of the 10 to 12 years age groups, with laws and equipment a little more closely aligned to the International Game than the “Mini Footy” and set to continue the gradual transition to the International Game at 13 years. “Mini and Mod” became the underpinning influence in the code’s development during their 35 years of operation. With annual reviews, constant compliance with the Law changes in the senior game, and, with an intensive and supportive review by the Australian Sports Consultancy group in the early 1990’s, the games allowed the code to take a lead in adopting the most appropriate formats for children in sport. These modified forms of Rugby League were reviewed as part of the “Pathways Program” in 2010 when significant research was sought to understand the needs of a very different demographic to those of the early 1980’s. Forums were held, online feedback received, and new game modelling was trialled across the country with game data analysed by research teams from Sydney University. Changes were undertaken to the two modified forms of the game at the end of 2014 as an outcome of the trials, research and feedback received, and were initiated for the 2015 Season. Further research was undertaken — again, with the engagement of the University of Sydney, and more trials initiated in 2015/2016 leading to the formulating of the current 2017 Junior Rugby League Laws in the 6-12 Year age groups. The NRL wishes to acknowledge the outstanding contribution of Peter Corcoran OAM whose extensive research and guidance led to the law modifications over the “Mini / Mod’s” years of operation to ensure that the programs were always age-specific and totally relevant to the needs of the game’s youngest players. Peter’s long association with Rugby League spans more than five decades. In addition to his role as National Director of Coaching (1977 - 1993), Peter served as the ARL’s National Manager of Coaching & Refereeing (1994-2000) and then as National Education Manager (2000-2006) with the ARL Development Unit developing, along the way, the code’s National Accreditation Schemes for both Coaching and Refereeing. He served, also, as the Chairman of the Federal Government’s Australian Coaching Council (1983 — 1997) and has, over the years, received many awards and accolades for his work in the fields of coaching and officiating. Peter was awarded the Medal in the Order of Australia (OAM) in 1988 for his Services to Sport and, in particular, the game of Rugby League. In 2014, he received the most prestigious Rugby League International Federation’s “Spirit of League” Award for outstanding service to Rugby League — an award given to only a handful of recipients over time with only two Australians in that list. In “retirement”, he still contributes to the game through the Men of League programs and the Asia Pacific Confederation’s coaching and refereeing programs. The NRL salutes Peter and all other pioneers / supporters of the code’s modified games for its young players. Their invaluable contribution to the games merits the gratitude of all.

Corcoran OAM. ) 4 NOTE The Laws of the International Game of Rugby League shall apply in the 6 & 7 years age groups subject to the following modifications, where applicable. GENERAL (1) Classification of groups is by age. Age applies as on January 1 of each year. (2) Players, in each age level of competition, must be of the same age group. Players are not to play “up an age” (to a maximum of one age group) or in higher age groups without parental approval. Where combined age competitions exist state governing bodies may apply playing criteria. TEAM/PLAYING TIME (3) Maximum number of players on the field at any one time is 6. When more than 6 players are in attendance at a match then all players MUST play in accordance with Law 6. Where possible, team numbers should not exceed 10, in order to allow maximum opportunity for all players to participate in game time. (4) The minimum number of players allowed on the field per team per match is 4. Should less than 4 players be present then, for safety reasons, the match is to be forfeited. A game must not commence if there are fewer players available for either team than the minimum number stipulated. During a game, should the number of players on the field for a team fall below the stipulated minimum number, and the team has no further replacements that can be used, the game must be forfeited, with the following exceptions: If the number falls below the stipulated minimum because of – (a) AN INJURY, the game can continue for the 3 minute injury period but must be forfeited if the player does not return; (b) A PLAYER BEING ‘REPLACED’ FOR MISCONDUCT, for the remainder of that period only. The game can continue at least until the end of that period. (This does not apply if the player is ‘replaced’ for the remainder of the match.) (5) All matches are to be played over four eight (8) minute quarters with a one (1) minute interval between quarters. This may be extended to 3 minutes for half time. (6) Each player is to play a MINIMUM OF TWO UNBROKEN QUARTERS of eight (8) minutes. [This is a MINIMUM playing time only and, should numbers allow, all present should be given a maximum amount of time possible on-field.] (7) A player may be temporarily replaced if injured - but, for a maximum of three (3) minutes at any one time. If the three minute period is exceeded the replacement is permanent (for the purpose of compliance with Law 6). The replacement player shall play another unbroken period of play (to comply with Law 6).

  • Guide to the Laws of Mini-Mod Footy
    NEW ZEALAND RUGBY LEAGUE® GUIDE TO THE LAWS OF MINI-MOD FOOTY NZRL Publication January 2010 THIS BOOKLET IDENTIFIES THE MAJOR MODIFICATIONS TO THE LAWS OF MODIFIED GAMES. WHERE NO MODIFICATIONS ARE MENTIONED, INTERNATIONAL LAW APPLIES. The Mini-Mod programme is unashamedly about young players first, their interests and needs as a child – then, and importantly their development and preparation for the International Law game and its demands. In this way children can develop a ‘love’ of the game. Mini-Mod has two strands. Mini is an introductory phase that emphasises a positive experience through fun and enjoyment, participation, a safe playing environment and the development of basic movement skills. Mod, still emphasising all those aspects mentioned above, now focuses on technical skills. The League has taken great care to ensure youngsters experience their football in a controlled way that reflects their needs. Mini-Mod games are designed so that the player’s development can be matched gradually, progressively and sequentially to the complexities and demands of the adult game. All of this, a child oriented philosophy, is conditioning bright and happy children to be drawn to Rugby League through rewarding and satisfying experiences. In this way Mini-Mod is a recruitment and retention tool which must necessarily be supported by good club climate, coaches and parents. This booklet should be read in conjunction with the MINI FOOTY Replacement A player may only be replaced as a result of injury or after playing one full (Under 6 - Under 9 Years) 10 minute ‘period’ of play Classification of Players in the relevant age group to be Player Misconduct Sin Bin is not applicable.

  • Bryan Curtis
    The Library of America • Story of the Week Reprinted from Football: Great Writing about the National Sport (The Library of America, 2014), pages 413–34. Headnote by John Schulian. Originally appeared in Texas Monthly (January 2013). Copyright © 2013. Reprinted by permission of Texas Monthly. Bryan Curtis Bryan Curtis (b. 1977) is predictable only in that there seem to be surprises in everything he writes, good surprises, the kind that let readers know they can count on him for a unique take no matter what the subject. Consider the surge in concern over concussions in football from the NFL on down to the youth leagues. It was the youth leagues that fascinated Curtis, a staff writer at the website Grantland and a native Texan whose byline appears fre- quently in Texas Monthly. He wanted to see “how they were processing the news about football. How they were coming to grips with it. How they were, in some cases, ignoring it.” Curtis found the perfect team to study in Allen, Texas, outside Dallas—undefeated for years, loaded with prize elementary school athletes who would realize only later that they were saying good-bye to childhood. His story about them, “Friday Night Tykes,” appeared in Texas Monthly’s January 2013 issue and provided further evidence that he is one of the new century’s very best sportswriters. Curtis began his journalism career by writing about the real world for the New Republic and Slate, first explored the world of fun and games at the New York Times’ sports magazine Play, and returned to the serious side to help Tina Brown, the mercurial former Vanity Fair and New Yorker editor, launch The Daily Beast.

  • Kick Impact Characteristics for Different Rugby League Kicks
    KICK IMPACT CHARACTERISTICS FOR DIFFERENT RUGBY LEAGUE KICKS Kevin Ball School of Sport and Exercise Science, Victoria University, Melbourne, Australia Kicking is becoming increasingly important in rugby league and one of the most important aspects of kicking is the nature of impact. This study examined impact characteristics for five rugby league kicks – the goalshot, the punt kick, the dropkick, the grubber and the ‘bomb’. Seven elite players performed these kicks while being videoed (6000Hz). Digitised data of nine points (five on the kick leg, four on the ball) were used to quantify parameters near and during impact. Rugby league kicks produced a smaller time in contact and a larger amount of work compared to kicks in other sports. Differences also existed between the five types of rugby league kick tested in terms of ball to foot ratio and foot and ball positioning at impact. These differences between kicks within the same sport highlight the need to evaluate different kick types separately within a sport. KEYWORDS: Ball to foot, Drop kick, Goalshot, INTRODUCTION: Kicking has become increasingly important in rugby league. Where once the kick was used to get out of defense and attacking kicks were predominantly ‘bombs’ (a high trajectory into the attacking scoring zone that gave attacking players time to get under it) recent years has seen the emergence of more precise kicks to wide receivers across the ground. The kicking game of National Rugby League team the Melbourne Storm is considered to be a key reason for their success in gaining four grand finals in a row and in 2007, more than a third of their tries were scored from kicks (Ball, 2007).

Apart from the rules below all other laws are those of the international laws of Rugby League. MOD LEAGUE THE TEAM 11 players are on the field at any one time and all team members present are to play. More than 12 players can participate by interchange or substitution. THE GAME 1. The aim of the game is to score tries in the normal fashion. There are no kicks at goal. 2. The game is played on a field 80m x 50m over two halves of twenty minutes with a 5 minute break for half time. Each half is started with a place kick travelling 10m minimum. 3. Six ”tackles” are allowed for each team to try and score a try. A “tackle” is made by a simultaneous two- handed tag. NO BODY TACKLE IS ALLOWED. Once tackled (tagged) the player must ”play the ball”. After the sixth tackle (tag) the ball is “turned over” to the opposition who recommences play with a play-the-ball. NO SCRUMS ARE ALLOWED. 4. At the play-the-ball no markers are allowed and the ball must be played backwards. The “dummy-half” may either pass the ball or run. If the dummy-half runs, doesn’t score and is tackled, then a change of possession takes place.

  • Football Study Guide
    FOOTBALL STUDY GUIDE American football as we know it today was developed in the late 19th century from 2 English sports; soccer and rugby. In 1876, the Intercollegiate Football Association was formed, and this organization developed many uniform rules of the game including setting the line of scrimmage, the systems of downs and scoring. A regulation football field is 300 ft (100 yds) in length from goal line to goal line and the width is 160 ft (53 1/3 yds). The end zones are 30 ft (10 yds) wide. 11 players make an official team for all of the offensive, defensive, and special teams. The object of the game is to score at your opponent’s end zone by running and/or passing the ball across the goal line for a touchdown, or kicking the ball through the goal posts. The scoring is usually done mainly by the offensive team, however, the defensive team can score points by tackling the quarterback in the end zone for a safety, or returning a turnover(fumble/interception) for a touchdown. Each offensive team is allowed 4 downs (10 yds) a turn to get a first down. If an offensive team fails to earn a first down within those 4 downs, it is turned over to the other team. A regulation game consists of 4 quarters and if a game is tied after the 4 quarters, there is an overtime period. The team with the most points after 4 quarters is declared the winner. Scoring/point values: Touchdown: 6 Field goals: 3 Pass/run extra points: 2 Safety: 2 Kicked extra point: 1 Various penalties: Delay of game: 5 yds Holding: 10 yds Encroachment/off sides: 5 yds Clipping: 15 yds False start: 5 yds Roughing the passer: 15 yds Illegal motion: 5 yds Unsportsmanlike conduct:15 yds Positions OFFENSIVE: Quarterback- the player who takes the snap from the Center and decides to hand off, passes, or run the ball.

  • Mighty Mites Season Plan
    REGINA MINOR FOOTBALL It’s fun, it’s fair, it’s football! Mighty Mites Division Coaches Manual Introduction Thank you for taking on the responsibility and privilege of introducing children to the great game of Canadian tackle football! The Mighty Mites division was created by Regina Minor Football to provide an introduction to the essential skills of football and the basic principles of the game in a fun, relatively non-competitive environment. If you volunteered to coach so that you have the opportunity to help young children learn and develop football skills, understand the concepts of the sport, appreciate team responsibilities, make friends and have fun, you are the right person for the job! If you volunteered to just focus on the athletic kids, hide the non-athletic kids in games, hand the ball off to your best player every play, and pad your winning resume on your way to the CFL, this isn`t the place for you. We trust you are here for all of the children on your team. Goals Everyone will know you have been successful as a coach if the following statements are true: 1. All of your players come to practice and games excited to play football. 2. All of your players learn and improve in their basic football skills (blocking, tackling, ball carrying, passing, receiving, etc.). 3. All of your players leave practices tired but energised. 4. All of your players have the opportunity to play a variety of positions in game situations throughout the season. 5. All of your players enjoy being together and enjoy being with you and your assistant coaches.
